Museum Oberursel
My main interest was, of course, in the U.0 rotary engine. It is in running order, and there are traces of castor oil.

Yes, because the museum is on the company premises and a guided tour has to be organised. And of course a guide must also be available.
Some guests didn't show up, so there were only three of us visitors 🙂

Beautiful building. I've just read the Wiki entry about the factory and it has had a fascinating history: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorenfabrik_Oberursel

Thank you for the pictures and for taking us with you! The running rotary engine is impressive, did it smell of Castor oil?

Your are welcome mates!
Thanks Gorby for adding the interesting link.
Roland, the museum has some typical metal and oil smell, but I can't remember Castor oil smell. I guess the last run was long ago, it runs may be once a year? If there's an event like a family weekend or something where the engine is shown running, I'd love to go again!
A very impressive piece of history was the jet engine of this Mack truck - please note the exhausts! [img1]

Oh yes, that would be a nice model!

The only disadvantage was, that the trailer was needed to store the needed fuel. 🙂
